With sincere appreciation and high regard for past

counseling and guidance because of the friendly and

expert help we are now receiving for their genuine

concern for our future success we dedicate this

"EXITUS" to Miss Anne E. Beechler and Mr. Donald G.
Schwab. We feel their influence has been outstanding.

Class of 1952

Editorial

With graduation exercises, the period of protected living comes
to a close for most of us. We are challenged by the future. Having
acquired a background of environmental influences, we are shown the
opportunities which God and America have made possible. We are aware,
or should be, of the work we must do if we are to realize these opportuni-
ties. Above all, we must strive to do those things which will benefit, not
only ourselves, but the people around us. We do not have easy times to
step into as men and women. We have rather an immense responsibility.
We have the challenge of the future.

If we make a success of our lives, we can attribute this achievement,
in a large part, to our background. Hence, as we stand on the threshold
of a great experience, we look back upon an equally great one which now
terminates. We sincerely thank our parents, who have made these im-
portant years possible, our teachers, who have made them worthwhile, and
our friends, who have made them golden. We leave Sutton High School with
reluctance for she has certainly been our friend and educator.

Ten Years Later

It was 1962, and I had just returned from my Civil Service job in
France when I met my old classmate, Paul Bjork, in Boston. He informed
me that he had recently returned home after checking up on his Inter-State
Trucking Concern. I learned that a class reunion was to be held at "Doc"
Schwab's new home in Oregon. Paul suggested that he fix one of his larger
trucks with seats and transport the class to Oregon in this manner. This
seemed like a novel idea and while the truck was fixed we searched for our
old friends.

Since we were in Boston, we decided first to get Betty Keeler, Franklin
Smith, and Connie Crosier. We proceeded to the Boston Children's Home
where Betty is head nurse. She greeted us warmly and joined us enthusiasti-
cally. It was then suggested that we go to the airport, as Connie had become
a successful trans-world airline hostess. We found Connie getting ready to
go home to Washington, D. C. , but she changed her plans and was ready to
leave with us. Our next stop was Franklin's boarding house, where we were
informed that he was nt rehearsal in Orchestra Hall. We proceeded to the
hall and waited quietly. Franklin had obtained the position of first cello player
in the Boston Symphony. Soon the rehearsal was over and Franklin saw us.

We related our plans to him and he quickly readied himself to join us.

Our next stop was Worcester where we found Lenice Gibson, Marilyn
Wells, Irene Mongeon, and Pauline Thibodeau. We first stopped in front of
Irene's beautiful ranch-style home ( her job as a stenographer had led to
maprying the boss. ) When she was ready, we proceeded to the State Mutual
building where Pauline worked as an office manager. Next we went to get
Lenice at Barnard's where she holds an excellent position as clothing sales
manager. Lenice was overjoyed to see us and talked for quite awhile. Next
we stopped at a nursery, for that's where Marilyn was to be found. She owns
an outstanding home for children from one to six years of age. Marilyn
became quite excited when she heard our plans and was ready in a few seconds,
declaring that it would be such a relief to get away from all the% noisy children
for a while - yes, it certainly was just like old times!

We quickly departed for our home town to gather a few more of our old
classmates. Our first stop in town was a+ a spacious and modern Sutton
shopping center where Joan Brigham is in charge of arranging advertising
displays. We then proceeded to "Pete's and Bub's" garage. Gordon Walden
filled the gas tank while we told him of our plans. He liked the idea of going
in a truck and he was soon off to find his partner, John Peterson. Before

long they were back and ready to leave with us. We then continued to Lynwood
Eaton's dairy farm. Eynn was more than glad to see us and treated us to
some of his famous homemade ice cream.

After leaving Lynn's we went to Westboro where we got Donald Ellis
and Ronald Moss. Donald owns fifty-one per cent of the shares of the
Westboro Arena, and Ronnie is a prominent stock car driver.

From Westboro we left for Connecticut where we found Theresa
Minor and Claudette Tousignant. Theresa is a leading interior decorator
and Claudette is her private secretary. They were overjoyed at the prospect
of going to Oregon.

And so we jolly seventeen were again together, and what a merry time
we had on our trip across the country. We reminisced about the gone and
almost forgotten days at S. H. S. and before long we had reached Oregon.
"Doc" was almost as glad to see us as we were to see him again. We stayed
at "Doc's" beautiful new home for two short days and all agreed that ours
was the best reunion ever.

Class History

On September 8, 1948, forty-one bewildered Freshmen entered
the portals of Sutton High School to begin a four year period of secondary
education .

After getting acquainted, we held our first class meeting and,
by an unprejudiced vote, elected the following class officers: George
Lavalley, president; Joan Brigham, vice-president; Claudette Tousignant,
secretary; Connie Crosier, treasurer; and Sylvia Anderson, A. A.
treasurer. Mr. Place was our class advisor. Maroon and white were
chosen as our class colors.

Later in September we officially became a part of the high school.

Our initiation at the hands of the Sophomores will be well remembered.

To show our appreciation, we Freshmen held a return party in honor of
the Sophomores on March 25, 1949- It was a great success.

In our Sophomore year of 1949, we started the new sdhool year
with a membership of twenty-nine. At our first class meeting, which
was held on September 13, 1949, we chose our new class officers as
follows: President, Robert Conley; vice-president, Harold Sheldrick;
secretary, Sylvia Anderson; treasurer, Connie Crosier; A. A. treasurer,
Gordon Walden. Mrs. Sherin became our class advisor. We also began
our preparation for the Freshman initiation party and decided on September
30, for that terrifying night for the Freshmen. They, in turn, gave us a
return party which was held on December 2, 1950.

The Junior class began the new year of 1951, with the grand total
of eighteen members. As Juniors, we elected president, Joan Brigham;
vice-president, Lynwood Eaton; secretary, Betty Keeler; treasurer,

Connie Crosier; A. A. treasurer, Gordon Walden. Class advisor was
Mr. Schwab.

Our long awaited for class rings arrived in February and it was
a happy day for the Juniors.

Thoughts of raising money for our trip to Washington and New York
were with us constantly. We held quite a few successful dances and
paper drives .

Finally we reached the most eventful year of all, our Senior year.
There were now only seventeen, of the original class of forty-one. As
class officers we chose the following: President, Lynwood Eaton; vice-

president, Franklin Smith; secretary, Betty Keeler; treasurer, Connie
Crosier; A. A. treasurer, Marilyn Wells. Mr. Schwab was again
our class advisor.

More money had to be raised as our trip kept drawing closer
and closer. We collected more scrap paper, sponsored more dances
and gave our very successful Senior Supper on October 20th. Our
Senior play, "Bolts and Nuts" was received by a large, appreciative
audience. Our thanks to Miss Beechler for her hours of patience with
the cast.

We chose as our class motto, "Good to Forgive; Best to Forget. "
Deep red and white roses were chosen as class flowers.

Having completed four years at Sutton High, we fondly bid good-
bye to the faculty and our former classmates.

Boys’ Sports

This year basketball season started with the loss of our coach of
the past four years, Mr. R. E. Place. His replacement by Mr. Louis
LeBlanc proved successful with the acquainting and organizing of the
team. Our record, though not too impressive, cannot show the fight
we put up in every game.

We suffered "third-quarter -blues" in too many games and couldn't
seem to pull out of them in time.

The scoring of the first five was, Bob Craw, 205; Lanny Goodwin, 138;
Donald Ellis, 79; Hoot Gibson, 55; Roy Grandone, 28.

When the W. W.C. League season closed, Sutton received an invitation
to play in the Clark Tournament. We played Townsend on February 18,
1952, and lost, 63-45.

Our thanks to Mr. LeBlanc for his coaching and the people who followed
us, for their support.

Qirls’ Sports

Although we had hoped for an undefeated season, the girls' basketball
team ended with ten victories and two defeats, the best record Sutton has
had in many years.

Our victories were all run-away games, the only close one being with
Rutland. This was a thrilling performance, and was forfeited to Sutton in
the last fifteen seconds of play, because of over-excitement.

Genevieve Szewerenka and Hazel Whittier were our co- captains. Hazel's,
Jenny's, Alice Szewerenka' s , and .Lenice Gibson's quick passing and fast
moving action brought us through to many victories.

Loretta Amour, Irene Mongeon, Betty Keeler, the starting guards, kept
down the opposing teams' scores, fed the forwards, and fought on to victory
in game after game. Alyse Hoover, Rena Zuidema, and Jane Cote were more
necessary material in our victorious season.

of a chair being broken, a few of the characters laughing at their own
jokes, and Wilbur squirting water in Rebecca's face, everything went
quite well and we received the applause for which we had hoped and
wo rked .

Miss Beechler's coaching and understanding was deeply appreciated
by the class. We sincerely hope that she enjoyed working with the cast.

PRO MERITO

The National Honor Society, commonly known as "Pro Merito"
is made up of those students who maintain an average of eighty-five
per cent or better at the end of each school year. Only Sophomores,
Juniors, and Seniors are eligible for membership and they must also
have qualities of leadership, service, scholarship, and character.
Pro Merito is an honorable goal which all students should strive to
attain.

Qlee Club

At our first meeting in September everyone was delighted to find
Mr. Mirliani as director for the fourth year. A student leader,

Paul Bjork, was selected to take charge whenever necessary.

On December 20, we gave our Third Annual Christmas Concert.
We were well received despite the fact that Mr. Mirliani was unable
to direct us. Paul Bjork took over and did an excellent job.

A Spring Concert is planned to be presented in April. We hope to

be better than ever in this last concert with Mr. Mirliani as our

director .

I believe that I may speak for every member of the Glee Club
when I say that we will miss Mr. Mirliani and that we wish to thank
him for everything he has done for us.
